Conor McDavid: Baseball's WBC is what hockey has been missing for long time
https://reurl.cc/1eK839
The World Baseball Classic final that culminated with Shohei Ohtani striking out
Mike Trout to give Japan a 3-2 win over the USA has been all the buzz on Wednes
day, and other sports are taking notice.
Conor McDavid, the 26-year-old star for the Edmonton Oilers and NHL’s leading p
oint-getter, spoke about it prior to their game against the Arizona Coyotes on W
ednesday night and believes that hockey needs to follow baseball’s footsteps.
現效力於NHL 愛德蒙頓油人的加籍球星Conor McDavid(26)
在週三出戰亞利桑那土狼賽前
和媒體提到，冰球該多學學經典賽
註：
Conor McDavid拿下過兩座MVP
第一座是在20歲就拿的

然後就獲得球團一張Acuna合約（8yr/100M)
“I thought it was really cool,” McDavid said. “It’s what we’ve been asking
for in hockey for a long time. It’s best-on-best. Everyone has been talking abo
ut baseball, did you see Ohtani vs. Trout, and that’s what hockey’s been missi
ng for almost a decade now. That’s what we’ve been asking for.”
讚嘆WBC決賽的谷鱒對決
認為這就是這十年來冰球一直缺乏的
讓好手過招的國際賽事
The last time NHL players competed internationally against each other was in the
2014 Winter Olympics but professionals have since been prohibited.
上一次NHL球員出戰國際賽
已經是2014年的俄羅斯索契冬季奧運

但從2018南韓平昌冬奧開始
NHL就宣布禁止旗下球員參與，是自1998年後首次缺席
2022北京冬奧一樣沒放人
A World Cup of Hockey was in the works for 2024 but the NHL and NHLPA announced
late last year that the “current environment is not feasible” to allow them to
host the tournament as the NHL continues to suspend all business relationships
with Russia due to the war with Ukraine.
而由NHL自己主辦的冰球世界盃(World Cup of Hockey)
原本預計2024年會舉行，但後來又宣布延期
原因看來是因為沒辦法給俄羅斯參賽(入侵烏克蘭)
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman cited Russia as one of “the number of issues” th
e league was working on.
The league and players’ association is hopeful for a World Cup in 2025.
目前NHL和NHL球員工會希望冰球世界盃能在2025順利舉行
只不過NHL球員，還是有國際冰球總會辦的世錦賽能打吧(?
不知Conor McDavid為啥會這樣講
NHL光這點就比MLB好很多了吧XD
MLB都不給打WBSC的賽事的
話說昨天看到2024年底12強的消息

The 2024 @WBSC Premier12 will be our next chance to see Samurai Japan in a major
tournament. The Tokyo Dome is one possible host venue. WBSC President Riccardo
Fraccari told me the tournament could consist of two 6-team groups prior to the
semifinal and final. @MLBNetwork
目前預賽規劃是分成兩組，一組六隊
我先猜一組在台灣、另一組在墨西哥
然後複賽在日本
